As the daughter of a professional artist, Susanne has been making art all her life. She grew up in

rural Massachusetts and later moved to Washington, D.C. In Boston, she received her formal training at the Art Institute, and The School of the Museum of Fine Arts. After the move to Washington, D.C., she studied at the Corcoran College of Art and Design. However, the greatest influence on her painting style developed from her long friendship and mentoring with the prominent wildlife and landscape painter, Bill Freeman, whom she met when she moved to Arizona early in her career.
